I have to say that I’m not really a fan of the new approach to the VOX Home-page…
I’m really missing the Recent Comments and the old format… I mean, the new content has value too but the previous iteration was customised to me and my neighbourhood. Now, “my” VOX Home-page shows me more or less what VOX has chosen for me to see.
I feel that the current state of the Home-page is better suited for the Explore page… in fact, it would be perfect for the Explore page. People would immediately get an overview of highlighted posts and images, see what the recent favourites are and scroll through the most recently listed posts.
I know others will dissagree but I greatly preferred the set-up the way it was before the facelift.
Of course, the ultimate would to offer multiple modules that people could choose from to customise their Home-page to be how they wished… similar to LiveJournal’s “portal” page.
VOX, why fix something when it’s not broken… of if you are going to change something, why not adding enhancements or modifying things slightly instaed of removing almost all of what everyone is used to seeing.

I agree. The only thing I like is the new layout of the recent posts from my neighbourhood. Otherwise, it's all pretty useless to me. I liked it the old way…
Right there with you…
I like the old way better too. Let's sign a petition! I find the new home page rather annoying. I used to enjoy going to my own home page section where I felt special. Not so much anymore! It's lame.
I agree, but still I don't really mind…coz I can still go and look at "recent activities" for the comments. True, you're then a couple of more clicks away, but it's not the world. :-)The thing that bugs me the most about Vox is the fact that people from outside of Vox can't comment and that I can't add my own links to the sidebar.
Hmm, I'm not sure what to think yet…
